r notes on their laptops or to the Internet or other any other source. We =
used to use SecurExam but their approach changed so drastically that we had=
to look for a better solution. Exam4 is used for bar exams; it is simple =
and reliable and does exactly what we want: it turns the students' laptops=
into "blue books." It also keeps backups, encrypts the file to prevent us=
ers from re-opening the exam so it can't be shared with others or altered a=
fterwards. When the software shuts down it allows users to submit it elect=
ronically. Exams are stored on a local server where I print them for the t=
eachers. The teachers love using the software because it is so much easier=
to read and to grade. All in all exam4 adds value to our laptop program, =
ensures that the laptops are in good working order and provides students th=
e opportunity to word process in an exam situation rather than having to re=
vert to hand writing.
